Sanding Charms for Making Recycled Jewelry

Hi I'm Jason. I'm shooting on behalf of expertvillage.com today. We?re making a necklace out of recycled materials that we found with the charm and beads. Were to the point now where we need to fix the edges, take the sharp off the edges of the metal charm. Already changed our bit in the dremel and were going to use the high setting this time and were just going to really quickly bring the charm to the dremel and were going to try and keep it, imagine a line in the middle of the dremel. We?re going to keep it on the top side of the dremel so that it grinds down and away from us. If it catches underneath the bit, it will pull your fingers in, it's not going to hurt you, but you want to keep it on the top side so it doesn't catch and don't apply to much pressure. We?re just going to apply just enough to make it so it's not so rough. That was grinding off the edges.
